1. do all your drawing to a given figure in a single multiline cell</blockquote></div><br>We should mention that the Qt console makes this fairly easy. If you want to change the plot, just press &lt;up&gt; until you get the cell back where you drew it, then add or edit lines, then run the cell to redraw the plot. Shift-enter forces execution, Ctrl-enter forces a new line (enter by itself tries to guess what you want).<br>
